Running Away

I have run away from Wuthering Heights. I can’t take being there any longer. Cathy says that I am no company at all to her. I try to please her, and yet she says that I never talk or keep her company at all. How was I supposed to know my presence wasn’t wanted if she never told me?! Either way, Edgar is still the apple of her eye. He had been coming over more and more as time passed. One night, I asked if she was expecting somebody (since she was wearing a nice frock), and she lied! She said she wasn’t expecting anybody, and then Edgar came as to enjoy her company and likewise for Cathy. I decided that I must leave them. I couldn’t stand to be around him of all people. Of course, I was still around and may have overheard a few of their words, but that is beyond the point. Then, when Edgar left, I went and sat at a bench by the wall just to relax. That is when Cathy came in and told Nelly she was planning on marrying the man! She, of course, didn’t notice that I was within listening distance, but I was still shocked. Nelly said that she was marrying him just because he had money, which I can’t disagree upon, but Cathy insists there is more. I know that she knows she isn’t following her heart, which just about kills me inside. Thus, after she was done, I left. I have run away from Wuthering Heights to be away from them. I can’t and won't support that. She should know if she was with me she could be around Edgar if she so pleased, but this just won't work. I have heard that since my departure she has left Wuthering Heights to go live with the Linton’s, and that she very well may have taken Nelly with her. At this point I may never see my true love again.
